When Does Counseling Help?

Many scientific studies show counseling helps you enjoy better quality of life. Seek therapy at Palos when you:

Adjust to a life change, such as retiring, moving to a new city or seeing your grown children leave home

What Happens In All Counseling Sessions?

In outpatient counseling at Palos, you schedule meetings with a therapist at times that are convenient for you.

Solving Problems

After the intake interview, you and your therapist will discuss ways to address your problems and make you feel better. Together, you might identify lifestyle changes, different ways of thinking or problem-solving techniques that would benefit you. Your therapist may suggest small tasks to help you practice new skills, or recommend support groups that offer advice from people in your situation.

Group Therapy

Many people find tremendous benefit from the ongoing feedback and support a group therapy session provides. Groups are led by behavioral health specialists and provide a safe structure and environment. You’ll have an opportunity to discuss your experiences with a group of your peers and learn strategies to better manage your condition. Convenient day and evening group sessions are available.

Want to Improve Family & Marital Relationships?

Good relationships with your loved ones involve joy, intimacy and support. But family and marital relationships also sometimes create stress and conflict. Turn to a neutral therapist at Palos Health for assistance navigating the challenges, making healthy decisions about relationships and strengthening family ties.
